Which size works best for you?

Stocking up for Easter guests

If you’re filling a platter for several guests, the net weight and the number of waffles or stated portions can help you work out how much you’ll need.

Preparing lunchboxes

If you want to divide stroopwafels between several lunchboxes, a pack in individual pairs is more practical than one large bag that you have to portion out yourself.

Serving small bites

For a platter where guests can help themselves, mini stroopwafels are a different option from standard waffles: you won’t need to break them up to serve smaller bites.

What should you look for when choosing?

First, decide whether you’ll serve the stroopwafels all at once or save them for different occasions. Then check that the pack size and portioning suit your needs.

What to consider What to look for Best for
Enough to share Compare the net weight with the number of waffles or stated portions. If I’m filling a platter for Easter guests, I want to know in advance whether there’ll be enough waffles to go round. For around 43% of consumers, having enough for everyone to share at once is the top priority.
Portions for lunchboxes Look for clear portioning, such as 4 x 2 waffles; a multipack isn’t necessarily divided into smaller units. When I’m dividing waffles between lunchboxes, I don’t want to keep opening a large pack and portioning them out myself. Around 29% of consumers prioritise individual portions.
Small portions to share Check that they’re mini stroopwafels, and look at the number of waffles and the net weight. For an Easter table with a variety of bites, I want to serve stroopwafels that guests can pick up without breaking them. Small portions to share are the main priority for around 28% of consumers.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming every multipack contains individual portions

    A large bag can be handy for a sharing platter, but it won’t necessarily be portioned in the same way as a pack of 4 x 2 waffles.

    For lunchboxes, check how the waffles are portioned on the pack, not just the total number.

  • Checking only the front of the pack for allergen information

    Allergens vary by product and variant. The stroopwafels described here include ingredients such as wheat, milk and soya; for the Kanjers variant, Jumbo also lists egg and the possible presence of nuts.

    Check the ingredients and any warnings about the possible presence of allergens on the exact pack you’re buying, even if you’ve bought the brand before.

  • Comparing only the number of waffles

    Twelve standard waffles, mini stroopwafels and four packs of two aren’t all suited to the same occasion. The net weight also varies from pack to pack.

    Compare the number of waffles, weight and portioning before choosing a pack for a platter or individual lunchboxes.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose a large pack, minis or a twin pack?

Choose a large pack for a sharing platter, mini stroopwafels for small bites that guests can help themselves to, or individually packed pairs if you’re dividing waffles between lunchboxes. Check how they’re actually portioned: a large number of waffles doesn’t mean they’re individually wrapped.

Which allergens should I check in stroopwafels?

Read the allergen information on the exact pack you’re buying. The variants described list ingredients such as wheat, milk and soya; for the Kanjers variant mentioned, Jumbo also lists egg and the possible presence of nuts. Don’t assume that another product from the same brand has the same ingredients.

How should I store stroopwafels from a multipack?

Follow the storage instructions on the pack of stroopwafels you’ve bought. Seal an opened pack tightly if you’re saving the waffles for different occasions; product information from brands including PLUS recommends storing them in a dry place.
